OLD BRIDGE — Someone who bought a Mega Millions ticket in Middlesex County last year will forfeit $250,000 if it is not turned in by Saturday.

The ticket was purchased at Crystal's Deli on the 300-block of Ernston Road in Parlin, state lottery officials said. The store is in Old Bridge, but sits only feet from the Sayreville border.

The second-place ticket for the April 4, 2013 drawing matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball. The lucky numbers were: 8, 15, 23, 36 and 41. The Mega Ball selected was 5.

Anyone holding this winning ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket and contact lottery headquarters at (609) 599-5801. The ticket holder can also visit any lottery retailer to validate the ticket and file their claim.

Since April 5 is a Saturday, and the lottery office is closed, the ticket holder may have the ticket validated at any retailer and receive a confirmation slip that they can bring to the lottery office in Lawrenceville during business hours.
